Sports Massage

Outfit Namibia’s “Sports Massage Therapy” is designed for athletes of every kind, from national athletes to weekend cyclists. This massage therapy focuses on areas of the body that are overused and stressed from repetitive and often aggressive movements.

Sports Massage Therapy is becoming popular as a balanced training management system. It can be used as a means to enhance pre-event preparation and reduce recovery time for maximum performance during training or after an event.

Athletes have discovered that specially designed sports massage:

promotes flexibility & mobility

reduces fatigue

improves endurance

increase blood flow, which aids recovery

helps prevent injuries

reduces scar tissue & realigns muscle tissue

prepares the body & mind for optimal performance

prevents delayed onset muscle soreness (aches & pains after exercise)

Sports Massage Therapy stretches muscle tissues to help release tension or pressure build up, leading to improved mobility. Also, by decreasing the body’s sensitivity to stretch, it will also allow joints to move more freely.

Muscles relax when heat is generated and when circulation is increased. This demonstrates how sports massage can assist with helping muscles relax with pressure and contact. Thereby also causing the muscle tissues to lengthen and become warm, thus stimulating relaxation of the muscles.

Studies have shown that massage can also improve mental well-being by reducing stress, and help patients relax & unwind after a stressful day.
